The North Peace MLA wants to clear up what he calls misconceptions about the Harmonized Sales Tax.

Pat Pimm spoke to members of the Fort St. John and District Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon on Tuesday.

Pimm kicked his speech off by explaining how the HST will eliminate embedded taxes in manufactured goods.

He gave the example of a wooden chair made in British Columbia. He says the PST is engraved in every process from tree-cutting to selling the actual chair. Then the customer, he says, pays for that embedded tax.
